Abstract: The number of adults seeking orthodontic treatment has considerably increased over the past few years owing to various factors like increased access to an orthodontist, availablity of aesthetic treatment options making the appliance inconspicuous or increased awareness. Since adults have very high expectations, the limitations of the treatment must be highlighted. This review article focuses on the various factors which affect the adult orthodontic treatment, their scope and the various limitations..

Abstract: Instant hospital-based study has been done to assess the outcome of snake bite cases brought to tertiary care hospital in Jharkhand state capital at RIMS Ranchi. In view of large number of deaths due to snake bite cases in India especially in rural part and also in many other countries, the necessity of having a study at Ranchi, being state capital of Jharkhand which is a state of tribal dominated population is evidently felt. Accordingly RIMS Ranchi being only medical college in state capital of Jharkhand has been chosen as tertiary care hospital for the relevant study. The present study describes 01-year prospective study of snake bite patients from January 2018 to December 2018 at RIMS Ranchi.....

Abstract: Background: Kala-azar is a fatal disease and accurate diagnosis is vital to avoid under-diagnosis or over-diagnosis. Microscopical examination of spleen aspirates are sensitive and specific but requires expertise to carry out the aspiration safely and to read the slides accurately. Examination of bone marrow or lymph node aspirates is equally specific but less sensitive. Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic utility of immunochromatographic (ICT-rK39) strip test in the diagnosis of kala-azar (Visceral Leishmaniasis) in children. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was done to determine the comparison of sensitivity, specificity and predictive value of immunochromatographic (ICT-rK39) test with bone marrow aspiration for the diagnosis of kala-azar in children. This study.......

Abstract: Background: Perinatal asphyxia (PNA) is one of the most important causes of perinatal mortality and morbidity which can be preventable and manageable. Objectives: The purpose of the study was to determinethe effect of place and mode of delivery on perinatal asphyxia and to identify the factors influencing or related to the development of the PNA.Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted at Department of Pediatrics, ward no- 9 at Rangpur medical college and hospital, Rangpur, Bangladesh from January 2020 to April 2020. Medical records of 1042 neonates admitted to the Department of Pediatricswere selected by a systematic sampling method. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 20.Result: Among the neonates, 410 (39%) had perinatal asphyxia. Most of the neonates.....

Abstract: Objective: To assess maternal and perinatal outcomes of pregnant women with thyroid dysfunction. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, RIMS, Imphal, Manipur. The study included 148 pregnant women in different trimesters with abnormal thyroid function. Study samples were collected for a period of 2 years from volunteer subjects who attended antenatal clinic and were followed up till delivery. Results: Out of 148 study patients, 127 patients (85.8%) had subclinical hypothyroidism(SCH), 18 patients (12.2%) overt hypothyroidism and 3 patients (2.0%) hyperthyroidism. Ten (6.8%) patients had spontaneous abortion as a complication......

Abstract: A large number of healthy females posted for LSCS under SAB exhibit transient electrocardiographic (ECG) changes consistent with myocardial ischemia. Interestingly a large subgroup of these patientpresentswith symptoms typical of myocardial ischemia.Mechanismproposed in literature for this phenomenon includes increased myocardial oxygen demand during pregnancywhen complemented with acute hypervolemia due to auto-transfusionfrom uterus and co loading prior to spinal anaesthesia resultsin an increased end-diastolic volume and pressure. This phenomenon accentuates pre-existing high myocardial oxygen demand of pregnancy. The disruption of myocardial oxygen demand and supply inducesischemia with subsequent chest symptoms and ECG changes. The present case report is of dynamic ECG changes in the absence of any symptoms noted peri-operatively in a young healthy female posted for LSCS under Sub Arachnoid block fight

Abstract: Non occlusive mesenteric ischemia(NOMI) is a condition with high rate of mortality. NOMI is a syndrome in which there is decreased blood flow through the mesenteric circulation there by leading to bowel ischemia and eventually gangrene. Chronic kidney disease patients who require dialysis are at particularly higher risk than the rest of the population. High index of suspicion in dialysis patients and aggressive intervention is vital in their survival....

Abstract: Background: To study the levels of endogenous cortisolin patients with Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Methods:This was a Case control Study which included patients of CSCR presenting to the Eye OPD at a Tertiary care centre in Western India. Serum cortisol levels were evaluated in 30 such patients and compared with 30 age and sex matched controlswho were on oral steroids. Results:The mean(SD) of the 8 am serum cortisol values at presentation in the patients with CSCR was 23.15 (10.34)μg/dl while in controls was 13.05 (0.05)μg/dl, revealing statistically significant higher cortisol values in CSCR patients (p<0.001).The mean....
